Emile Henry Large Storage Bowl

Using a clever design and natural technique, this storage bowl helps keep your produce fresher, longer. The cork top serves as a fruit bowl, while the lower, ceramic level acts as a pantry to store unripened fruit, potatoes, onions, and other root vegetables. The cork naturally preserves fruit while keeping pesky fruit flies at bay, and the ceramic body keeps out light while providing air circulation through a vented bottom. These features allow the bowl to maintain a more constant temperature, much like in a cellar. Founded in 1850, Emile Henry has a worldwide reputation for manufacturing fine-quality ceramic products. The company, located in the French province of Burgundy, uses special mineral-rich clay from the surrounding earth as the basis of all their cookware. Thanks to Burgundy clay, Emile Henry products exhibit extraordinary thermal shock properties, allowing them to go from freezer to oven, broiler or microwave without concern.
